Well today is Election Day here in the U.S., our annual opportunity to practice democracy (insert joke here about continuing to practice until we get it right). Here's hoping all those who are registered get out and vote, and that the process proceeds smoothly.

If you're gonna spend, you gotta tax, but the middle has seen their incomes stagnant for so long you have to admit that that's the wrong place to further tax. The incomes at the top have skyrocketed, but for some reason we cap the amount we tax for them. Maybe they should face the same rate as the rest of us, and maybe we should have actually paid for those wars if we thought they were so damn important.

As long as they're going to keep subsidizing Viagra and other non-essential stuff for guys, then they sure as hell better do it for women too.

Wbich double standard are you talking about? Is it the usual liberal one where Christianity is bad, but being gay, Islamic, or racist against white people/playing the race card when confronted with a position they have a hard time debating is awesome?

3. No shit sparky, fix the tax code sure, but enough with spending on things we don't need. What we're doing now isn't sustainable.

4. This ties into the first response really, where it's ok to attack Christianity as this big evil thing that's so pushed onto you poor liberals supposedly. Hell I'm not religious at all and it's not hard to see the shit you people whine about. I'm sure you're prolly one of those that hates the Pledge of Allegiance for having the words One nation under God in it too. Oh no so it's offensive!
